hello guys,

im new around and i really like the idea of lucid dreaming...

and ive read alot and researched.. but i got one question


sometimes when im laying down in my bed.. or in school (xD) i just close my eyes.. concentrate on the SOUNDS around me not on the visual images behind my eyelids.. and after about 2-3 min i start dozing off into another world, memories come back to me, long forgotten memories... including dreams ive had in the past... (by "past" i mean 5-6 YEARS ago )

lots of childhood memories etc...

the question is... WHAT IS THIS??

its sort of like a dream-state, but random memories and images appear, i disconnect from the outside world.. and it lasts about 10-15 min..

i can clearly FEEL my eyes moving around very fast behind my eyelids... not on purpose..

and i usually forget the most part of what i saw or remembered ... like in a dream...

the question is... is this some sort of induced REM sleep while awake?
